wish there was anything in you that could
make you worthy to he loved by her; that

Breton to leave Rookwood, he was sur
prised at his own reluctance to go and he
would have been glad if Sibyl had seemed
a little sorrier to part with him.
But sibyl could only think Of one thing
Just then. The news had reached them
that Percival was coming home-on sick

that she had not seen her brother, cousin,

THE DARKEST HOUR.

For a period of four years I've been a
victim of IA very severe and agonizing case
of Salt Rheum, which affected my hands to
such an extent that they almost become a
burden.
My hand became raw and horrifying, COM
polling me to keep it covered all the time.
I've spent hunrdeds of dollars for various
preparations, bnt instead of benefting my
condition, they all seemed to stimulate and
encourage the progress of the miserable dis
ease, until l had about given up all hope.
But thank heaven, "the darkest hour is
just before day." and / am rejoiced to know
that a positive cure has been found, which
is known as B. B. B.-Botanic Blood Balm.
My family rejoice at its magical curative
powers in giving me relief. My hand has
been cured and resembles a burnt surface
after being heated over, more than any
thing else. 1t has also cured my two chill
dren of a loathesome form of Itch which
had resisted all previous treatments. | re.

Flesh SIoughing off in Pieces.

For two years l have been confined to
bed with a loathesome form of Blood Poison,
which had about eaten me up, and ] and
others had no hope OF a recovery. For a
while / could neither walk, sit down nor lie
down, only in misery as my flesh seemed to
be falling off my bones in pieces as big as a
hen egg. My appetite was lost, my bones
ached and panied me, and friends ever
stunned me. | used various blood purifiers
without benefit, and several physicians
treated me until large sums of money had
been expended, but not one particle of
good did any one give me.
